At least he is putting the ROF out there in the press. The eight year part is assuming a lot from his end.
Hopefully we will hear about more specific timelines in regards to the plan.
Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak has promised to help create about 1,000,000 jobs over eight years if he wins the June 12 election.
Hudak's plan acknowledges that more than 523,000 jobs would be created anyway if the government simply continued the policies of the last decade.
Here's how he plans to do it with the PC's projected numbers of the jobs each proposal would create. According to Hudak's campaign website, full details of the jobs plan are still to come.
- Eliminate 100,000 jobs in public sector over four years, then hold public sector spending in line with population growth for the following four years. Projected job gain: 43,184 jobs.
